January Hearts for You alternative card idea

Today I'm sharing an alternative project I made with the January Hearts for You Paper Pumpkin kit. 

Save

Everything you see here is in the kit. The only thing I added was a Real Red Blends marker that I used to change the color of the champagne foil heart to Red.  It's fun to experiment a bit!

Save

Below you'll see the 9 projects recommended in the kit.  They're gorgeous as is but I like to show alternative ideas just in case you want to get creative with the products.  It is really fun to change things up at times.

Once you're a Paper Pumpkin customer you can choose to get any of the extra refills or add on items. The refills do not include the stamps or ink spot but everything else!  And they're usually only $12. Wow!  See this one here

• Dressed to Impress meets Ornate Frames for a gorgeous hand made box!

  May 13, 2020

  ---

  These are the boxes I included in my Spring Retreat last month.  I think they're gorgeous and was so happy with how they turned out!

  Save

  They're hand made from White and Lovely Lipstick card stock with fussy cut flowers and leaves from the Best Dressed designer series paper added to the top. The greeting is from the Dressed to Impress stamp set. The pretty die-cuts are from the Ornate Frames & Ornate Border dies which are now available again!  See them here. 

  Here's a picture of the assembly process:

  Here are the box dimensions:

  • Top is 3 3/4" X 5 1/2" scored at 3/4" on all sides
  • Bottom is 3 5/8" X 5 3/8" and scored at 3/4" on all sides.  

  Tips:

  • Once you have the box pieces cut and scored you can use the Ornate Border dies to die-cut the pretty windows in the sides.  
  • Cut the White frame using the Ornate Frames dies. Stamp the greeting and add fussy cut leaves and flowers. 
  • Fill with chocolate!

• Introducing the new 2020-22 In Colors!

  May 12, 2020

  ---

  They're in my hands!  The new In Colors that is.  Look at these gorgeous new colors we'll all get to play with soon!

  Save

  I added a few of our current colors of card stock with each new color so you can compare them.  The Misty Moonlight is like soft, worn denim. 

  Save

  This one seems like a color we've never had before!  It's a honey brown or rich, caramel color. 

  Save

  The Magenta Madness is a pretty bright pink.  If you've been around long enough it reminds me of the Pink Passion we used to have years ago.

  Save

  The Bumblebee is a golden version of Crushed Curry but a bit brighter. 

  Save

  Just Jade is a pretty green and also seems different from anything I remember us having before.  It's lovely! 

  Here's a sneak peak of 5 cards I made with LOTS of brand new products!  Everything is new but the White card stock. 

  Save

  How many new products can you spy here?  

  Save

  We are going to absolutely LOVE these new colors!  I cannot wait to play and create new, favorite combinations with our current line of colors.   

  Special offer! Each year at my Open House event in early June I offer my local gals a fabulous bundle of our new In Color products . This year I'll be offering it online to everyone (in the USA)!   It's usually consists of the In Color ink pads, ink refills, assorted In Color card stock, In Color designer paper and embellishments (or ribbon).  Then with that purchase they get the set of In color markers free!   It's a great way to have it all and not worry about needing ink refills or markers later.  

  However Stampin' Up! is already running low on a few of these items so I may have to change it up this year.  I'll know more the last week of May, which is when I'll open it up to everyone.  The Covid-19 crisis is sure causing havoc with shipping and inventory; not just with SU but globally.  But we make do with what we have right?  And that will include a ton of new and excited products!
